      “Protracted immaturity and dependence on paternal care is not an unfortunate byproduct of our evolution but instead a highly adaptive trait of our species, which has enabled human infants to efficiently organize attention to social agents and learn efficiently from social output

      the beauty of perceptual immaturity in altricial species is that it makes learning easier by reducing the complexity of the world
      • the beauty of perceptual immaturity in altricial species is that
      • it makes learning easier by reducing the complexity of the world,” the researchers wrote.
      • Parents are key to altricial learning, Goldstein said,
        • forming a two-way system of feedback.
      • Far from being passive recipients, he said,
        • infants of many species can change the behavior of their parents
        • in ways that actively shape their own developments.
